Editor Press and Banner
In an editorial few issues ago the editor OF
the Medium asserts, "our doctors are above
suspicion and only prescribe alcoholic stimu-
lants when necessary" A very nice assertion
to make, but were he to attempt to bring for
ward facts to sustain it, he would find It the
ing up these facts he might accidentally dis
cover that not only do some Of these "above-
suspicion Doctors prescribe unnecessarily,
but that some OF them are actually engaged
in the sale of the vile stuff, called by way OF
making IT respectable, "alcoholic stimulants."
Let the Mediums editor bring forward some
facts before he asks us to accept SO broad O
